Hello,

I have a feature class data set (of 51 points) and I'm attempting to symbolize with graduated symbols. I need to exclude about 20 of these points from visually being present on the map. The FID's of the points I need to exclude are not in numerical order as the points being excluded are based on a joined attribute field. When in Properties>Symbology>Quantities> Graduated Symbols> then click the "classify box" and then click "exclusion" I can't seem to make the correct SQL query. It works with when I do it with one point, for instance: "FID" = 43
But, I can't seem to get it to work for excluding multiple points. I've tried parentheses and quotations and different spacing and everything I can think of.
I'm sure this is incredibly simple, but I can't seem to get it right. Does anyone know how to go about this?

Thanks so much!

You may try using IN. Something like NOT "FID" IN (43,44,45,46,47) Don't forget to add single quotes if it is a string 🙂
